About Selan and his history

Selan has collaborated extensively with "Little" Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzales of the house music production team Masters at Work. Notably he plays the extended keyboard improvisation on the Masters at Work remix of Nina Simone's "See-Line Woman" which appears on the highly successful 2002 Verve Remixed collection. He also plays the extended keyboard solos on the DJ Spinna remix of Betty Carter's "Naima's Love Song" which appears on the 2003 follow-up Verve Remixed 2 collection. Selan co-wrote the music for most of DJ Spinna's Intergalactic Soul album, which was released in 2006 on Shanachie Records. He also co-produced, co-wrote and was a featured artist on "Back 2 U", a standout track on that same album.

His 2004 single "Unconditional Love," produced by DJ Spinna, was released on the Wonderwax record label. Selan's solo single "Gravity" was released in 2005 on Louie Vega's Vega Records. He is the co-writer of the song "Focus" which appears on Concrete Rose, the multi-platinum 2004 album by American R&B singer Ashanti. He also appears as a co-writer on the songs "Marathon" and "Desire" which appear on the 2007 Grammy-nominated second album Love Behind the Melody by Raheem DeVaughn.

2013 was a big year for Nile Rodgers, who wound up winning 3 Grammys for his work on Daft Punk's album, "Random Access Memories". All of the frenzy surrounding the song "Get Lucky" brought a very high visibility to Chic and as well as to Nile himself. The band toured all over the world, rejuvenating Nile's career and introducing him to a younger generation. Despite all of this success and exposure, Selan decided to leave the band in January 2014 and subsequently retire from being a side musician period. He decided to focus all of his efforts on music production, his solo career, filmmaking and other business ventures.

Selan is currently developing TV shows, short films and documentaries. He is also in the midst of creating innovative vegan clothing, footwear and accessories. Selan is vegan, an environmental, human and animal rights activist and a feminist.
